These publications begin in 1986 and contain
indexes of the Advocate Newspaper's personal
announcements, (births, deaths and marriages).
Over the years the indexing has expanded to
include engagements, anniversaries and for a
time, in memoriams. Up until 1997 each volume contains five years records of events, however after that date they are published as annual volumes. As much information as space allows is given in each record to ensure maximum identification, but in many cases there is further information to be found in the original announcement. The original entries are available for viewing and photocopying in the Branch Library at Latrobe. |

First published in 1887 in Devonport (then called
Formby), the North-West Post concentrated its
news gathering around the areas from Penguin to
Devonport and inland township such as Sheffield,
Gawler, Sprent, Sassafras & Latrobe. It
consists mostly of local news and focuses on
"people" and local advertising. Included in these publications is information taken from paid notices of births, deaths and marriages, obituaries, descriptions of weddings, removals from the district and descriptive articles by news reporters visiting country districts. The index provides sufficient information to identify an individual but as with all indexes, the original entry should then be viewed. |

The painful circumstances surrounding the death of a
man named Smith, who committed suicide in a small
two-roomed house on the Esplanade, West Devonport,
some two years ago, will no doubt be fresh in the
minds of many of our readers. The remains of the
deceased were buried in the Bluff Cemetery, but on
Thursday they were disinterred, and placed in a
leaden coffin and removed by yesterday morning's
train to Launceston, for re-interment.
